On August 4th not long ago, Wang Ban, the president of Sales and service of Honor Terminal Co., LTD., shared a “battle report” : Honor’s market share in Hong Kong in June was 20.2%, breaking the historical high and surpassing Apple for the first time to enter the top 2 in market share.
In fact, this is just one aspect of Honor’s recent hot sales performance in the market. IT Home previously reported that the Honor X70 5G phone has topped the sales chart of all brands and models for ten consecutive days since its launch. In addition, the Honor 400 series phones released in May also performed outstandingly. This series of products achieved a global activation volume of over one million units on June 29th, setting a new record for the activation speed of Honor mobile phones in the past three years. On July 10th, Honor officially announced that the activation volume of this series in the Chinese market has also exceeded one million units.
For instance, the brand-new Honor Magic V5 phone, which was just released in July, also broke the sales record of Honor’s foldable screen on the first day of sale, fully demonstrating the outstanding sales momentum of various series of products under Honor.
After the Magic V5, Honor’s new foldable phone is also coming. Previously, there were reports indicating that the new Honor small foldable phone Magic V Flip2 would be released in August. IT Home noticed that today, Weibo blogger @Factory Director is Guan Tongxue posted a piece of news, stating that Honor’s new small foldable phone is coming soon. It is said that there are two small goals this time, and it is indicated that the sales of the previous generation were already very good. Friends who want to buy a small foldable can look forward to it. You can guess what these two small goals mean.
In his accompanying pictures, there is a quote from Fang Fei, the president of Honor’s product line, who disclosed in an interview that the new generation of small foldable phones will bring significant upgrades in terms of imaging and battery life.
Therefore, it is not difficult for us to think that the two small goals of the Honor Mini Foldable mentioned by @Factory Director Guan should be related to imaging and battery life.
Coincidentally, from last night to this morning, Luo Wei Cyberverse, the chief imaging engineer of Honor, posted multiple sets of portrait selfie comparison photos on Weibo, and stated that they were respectively from a certain front selfie, a certain rear screen-viewing selfie, and another rear blind selfie. Among them, the rear screen-viewing selfie was clearly a foldable phone. In light of the above leaked information, it is believed that this is a warm-up for the imaging capabilities of the Magic V Flip2, which also coincides with the above leaked information.
So, what specific goals will the Honor Magic V Flip2 achieve in terms of battery life and imaging? Let’s first take a look at the information that has been exposed about this mobile phone so far.
Previously, the blogger @Digital Chat Station disclosed that the Honor Magic V Flip2 is expected to be the small foldable phone with the largest battery this year, equipped with a 6.8-inch ±FHD+LTPO main screen, a 4-inch ±FHD+LTPO secondary screen, and a 50Mp 1/1.5″ large sensor dual camera. Snapdragon 8 series sub-flagship platform, 5370/5500mAh± battery, 66W / 80W fast charging head.
The 5500mAh battery mentioned here, which is the biggest small folding feature of this year’s battery, might just be the small goal of Honor Magic V Flip2 in terms of battery life.
In terms of imaging, leaked information indicates that the Honor Magic V Flip2 is equipped with a 50Mp 1/1.5″ large sensor dual camera. However, the author is skeptical about this. After all, a 50Mp 1/1.5″ configuration cannot be considered a breakthrough in small foldable phones. To achieve a “small goal” level breakthrough, it is clearly necessary to have more eye-catching highlights. For instance, it should at least reach the “hundreds of millions” level.
So the editor thought of the Honor 400 series, which was launched not long ago, with the selling point of “200 million ultra-clear portraits”. From this, it’s not hard to think that the Honor Magic V Flip2 mini Foldable will take the portrait selfie effect as its highlight. So, will it use a 200-megapixel ultra-clear portrait? This is very likely.
Meanwhile, there were also reports online that Honor’s three main product lines, namely the digital series, foldable screen series, and flagship Magic series, will all fully popularize 200-megapixel lenses. With the commercialization of Samsung’s ISOCELL HP3 sensor, the popularization of 200-megapixel lenses may be an important trend in mobile phone imaging in the future. Therefore, if the Honor Magic V Flip2 can be the first to use a 200-megapixel camera in a small foldable phone, it can undoubtedly be regarded as a breakthrough at the level of achieving a “small goal”. Of course, all of the above are just the editor’s guesses. What kind of highlights the Honor Magic V Flip2 will bring in terms of imaging still needs to wait for further information from the official.
In conclusion, the Honor Magic V Flip2 will be released in August. It is believed that Honor will also start to warm up for this brand-new small foldable phone recently. What new surprises will Honor bring to the small foldable phone market?
